To provide the scientific community with a single,
centralized, authoritative resource for protein
sequences and functional information, the SwissProt, TrEMBL and PIR protein database activities
have united to form the Universal Protein
Knowledgebase (UniProt) consortium. Our mission
is to provide a comprehensive, fully classified,
richly and accurately annotated protein sequence
knowledgebase, with extensive cross-references
and query interfaces. The central database will have
two sections, corresponding to the familiar SwissProt (fully manually curated entries) and TrEMBL
(enriched with automated classification, annotation
and extensive cross-references). For convenient
sequence searches, UniProt also provides several
non-redundant sequence databases. The UniProt
NREF (UniRef) databases provide representative
subsets of the knowledgebase suitable for efficient
searching. The comprehensive UniProt Archive
(UniParc) is updated daily from many public source
databases. The UniProt databases can be accessed
online (http://www.uniprot.org) or downloaded in
several formats (ftp://ftp.uniprot.org/pub). The scientic community is encouraged to submit data for
inclusion in UniProt.
